Derby v Man Utd

by Timothy Masters

Derby take on Man Utd on Friday 29th January, 2016, with kickoff at 19:55. This match is currently being shown LIVE on BBC1.

There was a time, long ago, when Derby County versus Manchester United was a huge game between a couple of top-flight teams, although back then you could argue the team from Old Trafford weren’t that big really. Today, the Rams are striving manfully to get back into the top division and are doing rather well at it, but will need a great performance to overcome the great wall of boredom.

Louis Van Gaal has the kind of job security normally associated with North Korean leaders, and a similarly successful record, but tonight he might jump at the chance to actually see him team attack a bit. Here’s hoping, anyway…
